I'm not trolling Saul, because I use my real name and link to my company.
 
I do have a problem with people making up bollocks and posting it as gospel.
 
Which you have done/ do.
 
I called you out, using my own name.

What’s my business called?…
How do you know my name?…
Ok you think you’re calling me out.
You think I’m intentionally lying and have done before.
Well Mike this may come as a shock to you,
It’s my opinion.

I don’t write gospel.

Saul its not about the animosity and having a go and all the rest of it,it,s just that you presumed it was the reason the crank shaft was bent(on the 361) you,ve no proof it was that, but also the way you went about telling the OP  about how to tension/detention and all the rest of it,you make it sound like it,s rocket science,i,m not up for arguing on this forum but i really don,t think what you,ve said on this occasion is right

It’s an Internet forum with many different opinions.

But I can see why most arborists and companies don’t post on here.

Now you are saying that many will not post here because of what? Our inability to tolerate bullshit? You are beginning to resemble the fundamental snowflake who can never be wrong.

I know very little about chainsaws however I have to think that for a chain to shrink enough to bend a crankshaft it would have to be so tight to get so hot to do that that it would break something else first. Like the crappy screw tensioner or snap itself. The crank you saw probably bent due to knackered bearings.

I just think you don,t like being wrong and don,t like anybody contesting you on what you say,i think your knowledge on milling is very good,but it don,t mean you know everything

I feel left out Saul! [emoji16]

Don’t let them get to you mate, you’ve a wealth of knowledge that (as you obviously know) I tap via WhatsApp.

Different writing styles via an Internet forum can easily be misconstrued. You keep your posts short (potentially from writing via your phone?) so your own opinion might come across as abrupt. Don’t stress it.

Saul what makes you say that not detentioning the chain can possibly bend the crankshaft,cos i,ve never heard or experienced it

I'm not too sure about this because I think you could bend the crank on an original 262 by pulling it when it's been jammed in the cut, and not snapping the chain, later ones which could take the 3/8 chain had a stronger crank. It's an old memory so @adw may remember better.

 

A chain run out of oil gets very tight, there was a recent post about a makita that had to have a new sleeve put in the crankcase because the bearing housing was oval and I asked if that ovalness came from it being yanked hard.
